There is a rumor circulating that certain tattoo studios in the US have, in amongst all the stock designs on the walls, the Chinese characters for I'm so stupid that I don't know what this means.

The person who mentioned this was Chinese-American, and asked the tattooist why this was up on the wall. He replied that it was there to catch idiots who just picked designs which they thought looked cool - and that if someone was stupid enough to get a phrase which they didn't understand tattooed on their body, he'd do it. Apparently he'd already put the design on several people. Of course - he explained - if they had asked him what it meant, he would have told them.

I have just learned that, should they ever want to meet the conditions for joining the single European currency, citizens of the United Kingdom can no longer use the phrase spending a penny. The correct terminology would be euronating.

Almost 150 years ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to hire a private investigator - Mr. Alan Pinkerton. He was actually the beginning of the Secret Service. Since that time federal police authority has grown to a large number of agencies - FBI, CIA, INS, IRS, DEA, BATF, ATF, etc...

Now Congress is considering a proposal for another agency:
Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service

Can't you see it now? The new agents in their black uniforms with the initials in large white letters across their backs?

A co-worker asked if I knew what to do about a computer problem that was preventing her from getting e-mail. After calling the help desk, I told my colleague that e-mail was being delayed to check for a computer virus.

"It's a variant of the I Love You virus, only worse," I said.

"What could be worse?" my single co-worker asked wryly. "The Let's Just Be Friends virus?"
